Big Firm’s Assets Said To Be
More Than Double Liabilities,
Exclusive of Mortgages.
NEW YORK, April 9.—The J. B.
Greenhut Company, dry goods house,
was placed in the hands of receivers
to-day, when Walter C. Noyes and
William A. Marble were appointed by
Federal Judge Hand. The bill of
complaint was brought by the Mon
mouth Securities Company. The com
pany consented to the receivership.
The bonds of the receivers were fixed
at $100,000 each.
In complaint the Monmouth Se
curities Company states that It is a
creditor to the amount of over $200,-
000. Rose & Paskus, attorneys f or
the Greenhut Company, filed the con
sent of the company to the receiver
ship.
The complaint sets forth that the
assets of the company are $7,466,419
and liabilities $3,513,060. exclusive of
underlying mortgages. There are two
mortgages on tne company’s build
ings, one for $1,750,000 and the other
for $1,200,000.
Samuel S. Meyers, attorney for
about 100 creditors, said their claims
aggregated between $500,000 and
$1,000,000 He stated that the ‘la
bilities of the company would be $12,-
000,000, with assets of $6,000,000, ex
clusive of real estate.
Benjamin J. Paskus, of Rose & Pas
kus, representing the Greenhut com
pany. said that unquestionably the
business of the company would reor
ganize and continue. He said the to
tal liabilities were about $3,500,000,
and that the company had outstand
ing $6,000,000 in bonds. He pointed
out that the company’s liabilities were
covered by quick assets of $4,000,000,
including merchandise and other ac
counts outstanding.
A bank formerly operated by the
company had been virtually liqui
dated, probably about $5,000,000 hav
ing been paid out last year. The bonds
outstanding are held by the public in
this country and abroad and by banks.
It is estimated that banks are In
terested to the amount of $300,000.
It is estimated that the company
did a business last year of $13,000,000.
The J. B. Greenhut Company was
incorporated under the laws of the
State of New York November 6. 1910.
The company was a consolidation of
Greenhut & Co. and the Siegel-Coop-
er Company. The name of the con
solidated company originally was the
Greenhut-Siegel-Cooper Company,
but the name was changed to the
present title in May. 1914. The com
pany had an outstanding issue of

“The object of Pepper,” announced
Pepper, upon making its bow Friday,
“is to inject a little spice into the ac

* Which seems to be mixing things up
a bit, but isn’t. Pepper is Just what
it says it is, a publication to speed up
and properly exploit the achieve
ments, ideals and ultimate goal of the
Ad Men. Its first number came Fri
day, nvlth the announcement that Jo-

club’s protection committee, 1s editor.
Among the contents of the initial

the life and works of the Atlanta Ad

Manufacturers To Be Heard in
Government Suit Against Corn
Products Refining Company,
Important testimony In the Gov
ernment’s anti-trust suit against the
Corn Products Refining Company,
mammoth corporation formerly con
trolling the glucose industry of the
United States, will be taken’ Monday
morning at 9 o’clock In room No. 338
of the Federal Building, by Rowland
W. Phillips, of Washington, special
examiner appointed by the Depart
ment of Justice. /The witnesses will
be D. R Wilder, head of the D R.
Wilder (Syrup) Manufacturing Com-
pany; \\, J. Peabody, secretary;
Brooks Morgan, vie# president of the
Frank K. Block Company, manufac
turers of candles; J. b Hiakolev and
Mi-mer H. Prater, of Atlanta, and P. J.
Williams, of Columbus.
The Government will seek to show
that the corporation adopted trust
methods in keeping down competition
in Georgia, one of the methods being
to inaugurate a profit-sharing or re
bate system. The Wilder Company,
desiring to quit the connection, de
ducted Its rebate, $2,200, from « bill,
according to their contention. The
Kill cose company refused to accept
the settlement and went to court. It
won in the lower courts and finally In
the United Statos Supreme Court.
A point made by the Wilder Com
pany whs that the refining company
win? violating the anti-trust law and
could not collect, but the court took a
different view.
The action by the Federal Govern
ment follows that suit closely and It is
understood Mr. Wilder's testimony
will bo given considerable attention.
That concern started patronizing the
American Maize Products Company, a
competitor of the Corn Products Re
fining Company, as did others. The
corn concern is reported to be con
trolled by men who control the Htan-
dard Oil Company, and the maize
concern by men who control the Royal
Raking Powder Company.
Attorney Marion Smith represented
Mr. Wilder in the litigation and At
torney James W. Austin represents
the alleged tru*t.
DarkV/edding
Just Comes
to Light
Mr, and Mrs. Elijah G. Whitaker,
of Oakland City, left Atlanta early
Friday for a wedding trip. Out In
Oakland City there was hardly any
body who knew there whs a Mrs.
Whitaker or that there had been a
wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Whitaker, you
will admit, are clever.
Thursday Mrs. Whitaker was mere
ly Miss Kate Ix»u Hmlth, very much
In love. Hhe and her affianced, who
is a druggist In Oakland City, felt
that the fuss and feathers of a wed-
I ding according to Hoyle would be too
much of a bother, and that their
friends might prove too gay and Jeat-
ful, and that It was their own affair,
anyhow.
So they decided to pilot the good
ship Romance Into uncharted waters,
and signed up Dr. A. C. Ward, of the
Oakland City Baptist Church, to help
them. The young druggist and Miss
Smith went for a stroll Thursday
night about 10 o’clock. In the shad
ows of the church door waited Dr.
Ward. In Mr. Whitaker’s pockets
-ATTiATTTA,
were the ring and fhe license. They
slipped Into the dark church togeth
er, the three of them.
Other people were passing, and the
couple wanted to keep it a real Secret
No lights were lighted, and with only
the glimmer of a fitful street light
through the window to guide them,
the ceremony was said.
And until they read this there are
a great many people In Oakland City
who won't know anything about It.
Itchy Salt Rheum
Sometime* Called Eczema—Removed by
Hood'* Sarsaparilla.
Halt rheum Is one of the worst and
unfortunately one of the most common
of all diseases. How It reddens the
skin, itches, oozes, dries and scales, and
then does this all over again! &ome-
times It covers the whole body with in
flamed, burning patches and causes in
tense suffering, which is commonly
worse at night.
Local applications may do some good,
but they can not permanently relieve
The disease will continue to annoy, pain
and perhaps agonize, until the blood
has been purified and the general health
■ Improved. .
Ask your druggist for Hood’s Bar-
Raparilla, the good, old, reliable family
remedy It has given perfect satiafad-
tlon in thousands of cases. Insist an
having Hood’s Harsaparllla, for no sub
stitute acts like it. Get it to-day.—Ad

Association to Find
Work for More Women
The continued demand on the
Emergency Association for unem
ployed women to fill all sorts of post
tions and the good reports received
by Miss Susan McClelland of the work

may apply to Miss McClelland at I

Corra Harris, Writer,
Is to Lecture Here
Corra Harris, known and loved by
her fellow Georgians as a writer of
the keenest insight into the customs
and foibles of her own people and of
mankind in general, is to make her
bow this summer as a lecturer And,
as it should be, she will appear for
the first time in Atlanta, among her
friends.
Mrs. Helen C. Plane, honorary
president of the United Daughters of
the Confederacy, asked Mrs Harris,
in behalf of Atlanta Chapter, U. D. C.,
to talk in Atlanta. It is likely that
the talk will concern Impressions of
the European war, which Mrs. Harris
viewed as one of the few women wmt
correspondents. At present Mrs. Har
ris is at her secluded home, "The
Pines,” near Pine Log, working on
stories which will keep her busy for
two months. It is after that time that
the projected lecture will be given.

demand his personal attention he will
go there. Dr. Woodson’s successor has
not been chosen yet.

Nasty Drug Salivates, Makes
You Sick and You Lose a
Day’s Work,
Every druggist in town—your drug
gist and everybody’s druggist—has
noticed a great falling off in the sale
of calomel They all give the same
reason. Dodson’s Liver Tone is tak
ing its place.
“Calomel is dangerous, and people
know it, while Dodson’s Liver Tone is
perfectly safe ajid gives better re
sults,” said a prominent local drug
gist. Dodson’s Liver Tone is person
ally guaranteed by every druggist who
cells it. A large bottle costs 50 cents,
and if it fails to give easy relief in
every case of liver sluggishness and
constipation you have only to ask for
your money back.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a pleasant-
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliousness, sick head-
a/che, acid stomach or constipated
bowels. It doesn’t gripe or cause in
convenience all the next day like vio
lent calomel. Take a dose of calomel
to-day and to-morrow you will feel
weak, sick and nauseated. Don’t lose
a day's work! Take Dodson’s Liver
Tone instead, and feel fine, full of
vigor and ambition.—Advertisement.

Young Lawyers Told
To Study Bankruptcy
It behooves young lawyers to study
the bankruptcy laws and their appli
cation, in the opinion of J. H. Porter,
an Atlanta attorney, who addressed
the Atlanta Law School Thursday.
The speaker said the amount of bank
ruptcy practice in Atlanta and the
country generally has recently in
creased, and likely will continue to
increase. Bankruptcy administration,
he said, involves nice points which re
quire experience and discernment.
"The success which the law has ha/1
in its pratical application,” declared
Mr. Porter, "has caused a large part
of criticism against to die down, and
it is generally recognized now r as a
permanent law.”
